CRACKED CHEESECAKE

You made a cheesecake for guests that were coming and you noticed that the top cracked.

Time for some cover up work! Cover the cheesecake with:
· canned cherries
· sour cream and fresh fruit that is in season.
· Jam or Preserves

Cheesecake usually will crack it is cooked at too high of a temperature and/or cooked too long. To avoid this in the future, try cooking cheesecake at 300º – 350º F. The center of the cheesecake will just barely move if you move the pan in the oven. If it ripples, it is not done. Remember that it will firm up more upon cooling.
